Great video Mr "Toy Bloke", (love the Aussie expressions). Been out to the workshop today, grabbed my late Dad's old Black & Decker drill (must be 50 years old) made the mini lathe and knocked up 4 wheels in around 15 minutes. Saved me a bunch of dosh as I was going to buy one but glad I found this video. Cheers mate much appreciated. Just got to work out how to make the axle pins now. Smiley Pom face haha.
Onya Barry. The drill I used was also my late Dad's. Found a lot of old tools in his workshop. Most needed some work to get them operating but are proving very useful. I am also liking some of the old chisels and assorted hand tools which date back to my great grandfather but are of excellent quality. Cheers Mate.
That's brilliant ozzy, I will surtanly be making that jig it's a fantastic bit of kit.
I just recently bought some wheels but never again many thanks
Really liked that jig and loved the wheel. Great job and Greetings from Ireland

Think I will make one of them. Just started experimenting with making wood cars and trucks.
Thanks Bruce for a great video, I will sure have a go at making one of those mini lathes.

Wish I had seen your video before

I'm so sure that you can still buy handbook with all info you need on woodprix. Just google it.
You can find nice instructions on woodprix website if you like to build it
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
